Former own projects

Slicing the scientific literature (together with C. Baker, University of New Brunswick, Canada, and R. Kanagasabai, ASTAR, Singapore).
Development of a paradigm for literature search
that helps users formulate queries and search the scientific literature.
The system coordinates ontologies, knowledge representation,
text mining and NLP techniques to generate relevant
queries in response to keyword input from the user.
Queries are presented in natural language, translated to
formal query syntax and issued to a knowledge base of scientific
literature, documents or aligned document segments.

Similarity-based grouping of biological data.
Development of method for similarity-based grouping of data entries.
Development of tool for evaluation of similarity-based grouping strategies
(KitEGA).

Integration of data sources.
Definiton of requirements for information integration systems for
biomedical databases. Development of small prototype integration system
(BioTRIFU). Identification of use of ontology-based information for
information integration. Development of strategies for identifying similar
data entries.
